The house is arranged on two floors.
On the ground floor there is an eat-in kitchen with a characteristic stone fireplace.
Continuing on the right side is a bathroom with shower and an additional room currently used as a hall.
On the upper floor, on the other hand, there are two large and bright bedrooms with access to two small balconies overlooking the valley.
The house definitely needs some work, but it is habitable even in its current condition.
In particular, the fixtures need to be replaced and the plumbing and electrical systems need to be updated.
Nevertheless, the solidity of the property is intact, the facade of the house is in good condition and there are no water infiltrations; the roof of the house was totally redone about 10 years ago.
The house also has two storage rooms that are useful and necessary in country houses.
The first one at the moment is used to house a small tractor needed to carry out plowing work on the land and to keep the property tidy (the tractor if desired can be purchased with a separate negotiation). In the second storage room are crammed all the tools and a motor cultivator.

The Land

The large plot of more than one hectare is definitely one of the highlights of the property. On it there are 240 olive trees.
The plants allow a fair production of extra virgin olive oil, ranging from about 1,000 liters in the years with less production to a maximum of 1,500 liters in the years of full. Given the price of the oil (about 10 euros per liter) we are talking about a decent income.

In addition to the main property, we have included in the listing a few photos of a beautiful hamlet located a few hundred meters from the main house.
A quarter of this hamlet is being sold together with Casa Emma and is included in the sale price.
This hamlet in a state of abandonment at the moment has been registered as an abandoned property so it does not generate annual costs of either taxes or maintenance, plus no liability of any kind will fall on the new owner.
It represents in truth only a possibility for further investment.
Potentially the hamlet would be perfect to be transformed into an agritourism, taking advantage of the charm of the place or into a hamlet to live in with friends or relatives as was the case in the past.

This property represents a unique opportunity to live in harmony with nature, in an environment that offers beauty, tranquility and a genuine and sustainable lifestyle.
